I managed to flash SCV4 to a new box. Everything works.
I would like to OTA to SCV7.
I'm not sure on steps

In update box do I set the path to SCV7 OTA on the USB and then just reboot to recovery and everything goes or am I missing something.
Ive never OTA . I mainly just flash images.
Any help would be appreciated.

As i reported already here, my 3. box i bought (the cheap one) only gave me headache, until yesterday. I already contacted Gearbest to plan to send it back.

Short review: the box arrived and i had in plan already to update to SC rom as my other 2 boxes are working fine with. So i even don´t remember more which 7.1.2 stock rom was there (which date), i only remember, that changing to Nova Launcher was not possible, always message, app was closed.

first i could do the update to SCV4, but with problems, screen freezing during update, then with problems udpdating to SCV6, but the box never worked, display away, rebooting, crashes a.s.o.
For me was clear, this box has a serious hardware problem. It got hot, but not so hot, maximimum 62-65 º, but mostly 58-61.

So i was so frustrated, i tried to install all versions from superceleron again, from begining to end including ATV roms. Also tried to install the the stock versions i had from Alfawise, always crashing and screen problems.

So yesterday i tried the last time this rom from valencia7514 and voilá: i could install (ok with sd-card) it and now i changed to TVLauncher and it is working so fine. Thanks coni vigo for the info, i agree with you, this launcher is simple and working fine.

I am happy now that my 3.box is working now, but at the same time, very unsecure what happened. Finally it is a combination between software and hardware problems in this case.

I had in plan to update my other 2 boxes from SCV6 to SCV7a - but now i am afraid to do this, because i think all this is very unstable with this kind of hardware and perhaps i should stay with the SCV6 version now?

Any opinions?

you should open the boxes and see the hardware... what wifi chip, what memory chip and what heatsink type and if the heatsink is sitting currently on the cpu. and use the same "good working boxes power adapter" in the "bad box" and try again...

thanks for your help, but i am not sure if you saw my comment:

"...So yesterday i tried the last time this rom from valencia7514 and voilá: i could install (ok with sd-card) it and now i changed to TVLauncher and it is working so fine...."

So at this moment i will not open once more, happy to see it working.
Cables and charger i had used from my 2. working box, so there was not the problem.

I had opened this box some days ago, but did not noticed the hardware datas, only i noticed that the wifi antena was fixed solded.
I thought always (saw it on some pictures), that the antena cable is not fixed?
